Gorbachev: mandate for peace
Gorbachev, Mikhail S.
Gorbachev: mandate for peace - Toronto Paper Jacks 1987 - 414 p. : ill
Since 1985, when he rose out of the ranks of the Soviet Communist Party to become its General Secretary, Mikhail S. Gorbachev has captured the imagination of the world with his engaging personality and charismatic style. His policy of glasnost has raised the eyebrows of even the staunchest conservatives, challenging them, and all citizens of the Western world, to rethink their attitudes on Soviet motives, initiatives, and policies. Is this a sincere attempt at openess and reconciliation, or just a manipulative ploy by a master politician? Will he succeed, or will his policies push the traditionally close-minded Politburo too far?
With the unique Gorbachev style and candor, the General Secretary discusses solutions to the arms race and the build up of conventional forces, the future of U.S.-Soviet relations, and the sweeping changes he is proposing for the Soviet economy. Mandate for Peace is an important book, a first-person discourse by one of the most powerful men in the world, and a necessary read for anyone concerned with the central issues of our time.
